Quora.com, a question and answer site originally seeking to share knowledge, has been providing a home for sexual predators who often openly admit to sexually assaulting minors, and/or who sexually harass both adults and minors.  In addition, the platform hosts minors as young as 13 (sometimes younger) who post images of themselves nude, and/or close ups of their genitals.

All of this is a clearly stated violation of site policies, and much of it is illegal.

Despite numerous suggestions to mitigate these issues, including making Quora an adult-only platform and/or adopting a system for age verification, and creating a specific policy surrounding sexual harassment, among many others, from the rest of the Quora community, the platform has done nothing to proactively prevent these predators from interacting with minors, nor any other potential targets on the site.  They have also done nothing to prevent minors from posting inappropriate and illegal images of themselves.  Their outsourced moderation team only reacts to reports of policy violations, often merely removing any offending content while allowing the users who post it to remain on the platform with no more than a slap on the wrist on most occasions.  

There are, and have been, groups of users organized and dedicated to reporting predators, their violating content, and underage users posting inappropriate images.  These groups, despite their best efforts and intentions, are regularly the target of platform moderation for violating their harassment policy, and are removed for same.  This has been an ongoing fight for years, with little change for the better.

It's time to hold Quora accountable for the actions of the users they continue to allow on their platform who prey on adults and minors alike, and for those minors who are willingly and purposefully posting inappropriate images of themselves.  To continue to allow these behaviors is a danger to every user on the platform, and anyone who may unwittingly create accounts in the future.

Quora is easily accessible via the App Store and the Google Play Store, and surely an app having such content would violate the policy of said app stores.

They need to either make the site "adult only", remove all non-educational nude images, and/or take proactive measures to protect their users from unwanted sexual content.

Please sign this petition to protect the users of Quora from the predators on the platform, make them acknowledge there is a problem with sexual predators on their site, and tell them that the safety of their user base is more important than their wallets.  

Thank you.
